Electrical Safety Regulation 2013

To renew or reinstate an electrical licence, the regulator must be satisfied the applicant for the renewal or reinstatement continues to satisfy the eligibility requirements for the licence.

However—

the application of section 42(4) as an eligibility requirement for subsection (1) does not prevent the regulator renewing or reinstating an electrical work licence if the regulator is satisfied—

the applicant has a medical condition that prevents the applicant carrying out the resuscitation but does not otherwise affect the applicant’s ability to perform electrical work under the licence; and

in the particular circumstances, it is reasonable to allow the applicant to carry out electrical work under the licence subject to a condition that the applicant must not act in a role for which it is a requirement that the applicant be competent in resuscitation, including as a safety observer; and

the application of section 42(5) as an eligibility requirement for subsection (1) does not prevent the regulator renewing or reinstating an electrical linesperson licence if the regulator is satisfied—

the applicant has a medical condition that prevents the applicant carrying out the resuscitation but does not otherwise affect the applicant’s ability to perform electrical work under the licence; and

in the particular circumstances, it is reasonable to allow the applicant to carry out electrical work under the licence subject to a condition that the applicant must not act in a role for which it is a requirement that the applicant be competent in rescue at a pole top or transmission tower and in resuscitation, including as a safety observer.

In this section—

the requirements under sections 42(2)(b) and (3) to (5), 43 to 45 and 48 that apply to the issue of the licence; and

if, for the issue of the licence, the applicant was required, under section 51, to provide evidence that the applicant satisfied the criteria, mentioned in paragraphs (a) and (b) of that section, relating to insurance—those criteria.
